Scully was finally coming home for the holidays; She hadn't spent the last 3 Christmases with her family due to her job or other senseless events (i.e. How the Ghosts Stole Christmas). This year, she decided to bring along Mulder, since he was just spending Christmas by himself, again. Apparently they were the first ones there, but as the evening went on, everyone started dropping by. Charly, his wife and their 3 lovely young children, Bill, Tara, and Lucy or more commonly known to Scully as Luz, her favorite niece, or more like a daughter to her. Every time they were in the same house, they were always together; Scully was Luz's role model.
"Aunt Dana! You made it this year! Oh my gosh, it's been so long since I spoke to you!" Luz said as she hugged Scully.
"Has it been a week already since you both spoke to each other?" Maggie said sarcastically, knowing that, that was probably the longest they had gone w/out speaking to each other.
"Oh grandma! How have you been?" Luz asked her grandma after hugging her.
"I'm great hon, but you seem to grow everyday!" Maggie said as she took a good look at her 17-year-old granddaughter
"Mulder!" Luz almost leaped when she saw him. She found him very attractive, but in an older-guy-I'm-never-gonna-have-a-chance-with-and-not-that-I-want-one kind of way, she had always thought that he was the perfect man for Scully.
Later that NightWhen everyone was already in bed and ready to go to sleep, Luz couldn't find sleep, so she decided to go and get herself a midnight snack, since it was already close to midnight. Once there she discovered that she wasn't the only one with no sleep, Mulder was sitting there drinking a glass of warm milk.
"Can't sleep either?" Mulder asked her as she walked in the kitchen.
"Nope, I found it more interesting to come down here and get myself something to eat, than counting more than a thousand sheep" She told him as she made herself a sandwich. "So, how's work?" She asked him, not looking away from her half-made sandwich
"It's great." He said truthfully. "How's school?" He asked her in return.
"Well, it's school, but it's ok I guess, Senior year can't complain." She said as she finished making her sandwich and sat across the table from him.
"Any lucky guys out there?" He asked with a grin on his face.
"Well, I had a boyfriend, but we broke it off about a week ago, he was too controlling…hate that guy." She told him because she trusted him, she'd met this man when she was about 8 years old, he was like an uncle to her, a favorite one at that of course. "What about you? Any lucky ladies?" She asked him while giving him the all too famous Scully eyebrow.
"No, not really, I'm really dedicated to my work." He answered thruthfully.
"Can I ask you a personal question?" She asked taking a bite of her sandwich.
"Sure." He said a bit surprised and concerned at what the question might be.
"Are you and aunt Dana having an affair?" She asked him looking him in the eye. At this, he busted out laughing.
"No!" He said with a smile on his face.
She just smiled and said, "Well you guys should."
"Excuse me?" He asked the smile no longer in his face, now, he was interested.
"I mean, if you guys don't want to get married, that's ok, but the problem is that you guys are perfect for each other, you've been working together for so long, and none of you has had a second date with anyone that wasn't each other, you guys have been on so many dates and you don't even know it! You're practically a married couple, minus the romance part of it. You guys are an item, whether you want to or not." She said that with all certainty.
After talking for nearly two hours and being told to go upstairs and get some sleep by Maggie who came down to place some more gifts under the tree, that was when mulder decided, or better said Luz decided and told mulder, to go into Scully's apartment and tell her how he felt.
It wasn't until morning, that Luz was awakened by someone yelling her name like it was the apocalypse, "LUCY MARY SCULLY!" it was then that she saw an enraged red-with anger face that belonged to Dana Scully walk into her room. She pointed a finger at her and began yelling. "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!?"
More to come, that is if you guys like it, I just kinda thought of this about a while ago, I'm not sure if it'll be of your liking. R&R, Please, even if it sucks, you can tell me that too! Lol
